The Putrajaya Street Circuit, otherwise known as the Persiaran Perdana Circuit, is a temporary street circuit located on the Persiaran Perdana in Putrajaya, Malaysia, that hosted two rounds of the FIA Formula E Championship.[1] The Putrajaya Street Cirucit hosted both Putrajaya ePrix with no changes to the layout, before being dropped from the FE calendar from 2016/17 onward.[2]
Formula E History[]
The Putrajaya Street Circuit was first proposed in 2013, after Putrajaya secured a deal to host the new FIA Formula E Championship ahead of the inaugural 2014/15 season.[3] The circuit itself was designed by Simon Gibbons, a British architect with several years of circuit planning with the FOM, and was approved in the spring of 2014.[4] The circuit would use the main Persiaran Perdana, otherwise known as the Putrajaya Boulevard, and would run past the Prime Minister's Office.[5]
Circuit History[]
The circuit was initially listed as 2.560 km (1.591 mi) in length with twelve corners, although this was increased to fourteen due to new FIA regulations about what dictated a corner.[5] The inaugural race at the circuit was won by Sam Bird, while Lucas di Grassi claimed victory in the second race in Putrajaya race on an unchanged Putrajaya Street Circuit.[6]
Circuit Layout[]
A lap of the Putrajaya Street Circuit opened with a fair run into the first corner, a right-left chicane with the pit-exit on the outside.[5] Another straight followed before a 90° right formed turn three, followed by a quick blast to turn four, another right.[5] A narrow run led the field to turns five and six, a 90° left preceding a 90° right, exiting onto a long curve that formed turn seven.[5]
A two element turn eight chicane followed, a right-hand hairpin with a curve left to exit, followed by a kink to form turn nine.[5] Another slight curve followed to lead the field into turn ten, a long apex left, before the field hit the brakes for a tight turn eleven, a hairpin right by the Prime Minister's Office.[5] Exiting the hairpin brought the field to turn twelve, a 90° left, followed by a long sweeping right formed turn thirteen.[5]
Turn thirteen ended in a sharper 90° right that formed turn fourteen, which brought the field back onto the start/finish straight.[5] Pit-in was found on the inside of turn thirteen, just before the braking zone for the final corner.[5]
